Marquez did better vs. Bradley than Provodnikov, numbers don't lie

"Ruslan facing Timothy Bradley again is another great fight for us and we're definitely open to that fight. More importantly, it would be a rematch that people would want to see much more than a rematch between Marquez and Bradley which was clearly a one sided fight," Kornilov told BoxingScene.com."

Note: Vadim Kornilov is Ruslan Provodnikov's manager.


A one-sided fight? Here are the numbers from Compubox

Bradley-Marquez final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy)

Jabs
Bradley: 82/337 = 24.33%
Marquez: 38/169 = 22.48%

Power punches
Bradley: 86/225 = 38.22%
Marquez: 115/286 = 40.20%

Totals: Jabs + Power Punches
Bradley: 168/562 = 29.89%
Marquez: 153/455 = 33.62%

Bradley-Provodnikov final numbers: (landed/thrown = percentage of accuracy)

Jabs
Bradley: 129/489 = 26.38%
Provodnikov: 32/162 = 19.75%

Power punches
Bradley: 218/511 = 42.66%
Provodnikov: 186/514 = 36.18%

Totals: Jabs + Power Punches
Bradley: 347/1000 = 34.70%
Provodnikov: 218/676 = 32.24%

So there you go.

Bradley-Marquez was a closer fight than Bradley-Provodnikov. It was a boring fight, because Bradley made it so, by running and avoiding trading with Marquez all night.

Bradley outdid Provodnikov in every single statistic.

Bradley ONLY outdid Marquez in jabs and total punches landed (by just very little BTW). In everything else, he came short.

Bradley was willing to trade with Provodnikov almost all night (he threw 1000 punches to Ruslan!), whereas he threw only about half the punches vs. Marquez (only 562 punches), because obviously he feared a knock-out from Marquez, Pacman-go-to-sleep style.

Provodnikov knocked Bradley down 3-4 times simply because Bradley was willing to trade with him all night, but Bradley was obviously scared of a Marquez' big colossal right counter, that's why there wasn't any knock-downs.

Just clearing up things here, that's all. That Kornilov guy is either a liar or an ignorant, because he is clearly mistaken about who did better vs. Bradley.

No.

JMM schooled Bradley and actually if you watch the 7th round closely he KOs Timmy but the ref was paid off by arum and let it continue. JMM has never officially lost a fight.

Fights are judged by individual rounds, not total punch stats. Marquez-Bradley was close I guess, and I only watched it live but I thought Timmy won clearly.

Bradley deserves the decision versus Prpvodnikv the way the fight was officiated, but with a competent referee, Provodnikov would of gotten the W because he only lost by like 1-2 points on each card and there were 2 legitimate knockdowns that were missed, that if called right would of gave Prov the victory.


Bradley-Provodnikov was way closer, IMO

Numbers lie all the time. Why do people say they don't?

One of the mysteries of the universe.

Im sorry but Marquez got schooled in round 7

Bradley almost died lol wtf are you talking about? Marquez hardly did anything.

A rematch for both are pointless though. Bradley won't be dumb and trade with Ruslan again and he'll out box him just like he'd outbox Marquez. A better fight is Ruslan vs Marquez.

I'm sorry i read the op and I thought this was a make shit up thread.

Are you telling me that made up numbers dont lie?

Being hurt multiple times, Bradley actually beat the **** out of Prov pretty badly. He landed so many combos.
